Here at WestWon we are doing our bit to help combat climate change. We have launched our new initiative and cannot wait to start making a difference to the world we live in. In light of this, welcome to the WestWon Woodland.
We have teamed up with Ecologi, a UK based social enterprise. They are a company that plants trees in the UK and abroad. Through them we will be offsetting carbon emissions of our employees. To find out more information about them visit their website below.
We have also teamed up with a not-for-profit called Plant for the Planet. Through them we will be planting trees on the behalf of our customers. This is where we have a tree planted for every month of your lease agreement with us.
Ever since January 2022, we have planted a tree for every month of a lease term in the WestWon Woodland. This is for every finance agreement a business undertakes with us.
It’s as simple as that. We don’t need anything from you. You will receive a certificate of plantation as well as a link to our very own WestWon forest. Here, you can see your trees being brought to life. In addition, it’s a simple and quick process. It’s just another way of how financing through WestWon benefits you. However, in this case it aids the environment and climate too.

We all need to do our bit to help fight climate change. In our own private lives, many of us have made positive changes to reduce our carbon footprint. Our business has to follow in the same direction. We believe that this initiative is the way to do this. We are also following in the footsteps of many countries worldwide, committing to doing their bit for the environment. Currently, 191 countries have entered into the Paris Agreement, often referred to as the Paris Climate Accords. This is an international treaty on climate change. It was adopted in 2015 and its main aim is to reduce global warming temperature by well below 2 degrees Celsius. It is however pursuing the preferred aim of 1.5 degrees Celsius. The treaty covers climate change mitigation, finance, and adaptation.

A person’s carbon footprint is simply the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. It’s calculated from their actions and behaviours. Over time your carbon footprint can accumulate to a large amount. This is why it’s so important that we start to offset them. There are many ways to do this, but one obvious solution is by planting trees. Hence why we created the WestWon Woodland as well as making ourselves a climate positive company.
The more we work together to reduce our carbon footprints, the better our climate will be in the future.
